Oh sorry, I didn't mean the adjuster or my specific insurance company per se. I just meant I got a bit lucky with my rates not increasing, at least it seems like they wont. I for sure got screwed by the adjuster. But it would have saved both myself and the insurance company money to just have totaled the car outright. |

And this is the reason that I tell people to NEVER buy used. They claim that they save a few thousand dollars, but not really. You have to assume that a used car was sold off for some reason, and not always the best reason. |

A used car can always be checked out before purchase, or after in some cases with a short no-questions-asked return policy. Not everyone can afford to buy a new car every single time they need a vehicle.

True, but some items may not show up. I'm still haunted by the last used car I ever bought in my life. If you haven't read the post, it was a 1987 Buick LeSabre (yes it was old, yes I'm old) that I bought from a private seller. I went to roll down the window and saw a 4 inch line of boogers on the window edge, where it tucks up under the window sill. I drove the rest of the way home with my finger and thumb and scrubbed the hell out of all points in the car that I touched. Now sure, that's an extreme example, but who's to say what people do in the privacy of their vehicles when they don't think anyone is watching? I'll gladly pay a little more for peace of mind...not piece of boogie... |

I'm the opposite. I buy used vehicles all the time, let someone else pay the depreciation. I've bought a couple new cars sure, but normally buy used. Not every used vehicle is a horror story.

True, I prefer to buy new as well. I would probably never buy a used performance car. Never know how it was treated, was it babied or was it beaten to hell
